Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome
Posted August 20th, 2009 by allen_stovallWhat is Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome?
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome is also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.
Although research is ongoing, there is no cure for Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome. Relief through Acupuncture and herbal medicines may hold a promising future.
Opioids and narcotic based drugs have little effect on the pain receptors of many individuals. In cases of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome this seems to be the case.
Swine Flu and You...
Posted August 18th, 2009 by allen_stovallEach year in the United States about 300,000 people die from the flu. World -wide, about 1000 people have died from the Swine flu or H1N1 Virus. There seems to be a vigorous push to have everyone vaccinated for this flu. I simply ask, why?

My question and argument is this; why would anyone who practices Acupuncture wish to integrate with the number one cause of death in the USA? I just don't get it!
WebMD and Cyberchondria
Posted June 30th, 2009 by allen_stovallWestern medicine and increasingly modern styles of Acupuncture mislabeled as traditional Chinese medicine or TCM is based on symptom relief. Because the modern medical culture is based on a allopathic approach to medicine, it is no wonder then that the patient sees their symptoms as road maps to diagnosis.
In this advanced information age, it is both easy and distressing for patients to visit to an Internet "clinic" such as WebMD. Some patients will bring in hundreds of articles on their first visits to prove their own online diagnosis.
"By protecting and harmonizing the heavenly true energy, one is able to live out one's natural life span, which is the principle of prevention as practiced by the highest class of physicians."
